Also, I just filled up with B20. Would an additive still be needed or does the bio take care of that?

That article tested used motor oil and it was not much better than most straight diesel fuels.

Doesn't make sense, but 'tis true.

Could be that the "used oil" had all the lub properties used up. personally I can't understand why anyone would want to send "used"oil thru a pump, and thats not even considering the metal particles and acids in the oil, imagine the carnage!! as if the VP wasnt fragile enough.
